Root password not working?

I need to access the Omega from its command line, and since it's not connected to the Internet, I kept the default "onioneer" password. While it works from the GUI, the connection is refused from a standard Terminal on the host computer. Is this password different?

Also, I noticed the "-" character, as well as others accessible through "alt" key, are not passed to the Web-based Terminal. Is there a way to solve this bug?

Not really, refused means no rights to connect over ssh. Pleas check in internet how to configure it for your OS first.

This is indeed a problem of the 3th party software it is used on Omega. The workaround is ssh as you tried. Fix this first on your OS with the refused problem.

How about connecting as described in onion.io/getstarted ? So you could resolve the Internet problem and update your omega.

@Luciano-S. I don't really understand. The Omega is now connected to Internet on a common router (Though this router doesn't allow connections from the Internet to the Omega), and I try to connect using its DHCP-assigned IP address, just as I do in Firefox to reach the GUI.

I have no issues with SSH access from this computer to any other device.

The Omega still refuses the default password. Is user root allowed for SSH access?

@Luciano-S. I am on the same IP range as the Omega, as are all other LAN-connected devices. However, SSH access works only when the computer is connected directly to the Omega, but not when both are connected to the same router.

As you point out, this may be on purpose, but annoying nevertheless. Shouldn't connections request from LAN be always trusted by default? How do I set the Omega for normal access through other LAN computers?

I guess it is just a matter of configuration. If you use your Omega as AP (access point) you are isolated of your home network. But you can also activate wireless and connect with the omega to your home wireless, then a connection from other Computers should be possible ?!
